Did any battleships besides HMS Rodney use torpedoes in combat?
Short answerYes, other battleships fired torpedoes, though the answer gives no named examples or confirmed hits. Their role was generally to finish damaged opponents.
NotesBattleships besides Rodney did fire torpedoes in action, although firing them and achieving hits are different questions. Capital-ship torpedoes are described chiefly as weapons for finishing an opponent already battered into submission. Their presence should not make a battleship abandon a useful gunnery range merely to fire every weapon. Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts provides a contrasting example, with ships tempted to close to torpedo or secondary-gun range. Secondary guns remain necessary against cruisers and destroyers, but they should not dictate the range of a battle against another battleship.
